After an incredible first installment, where Joaquin Phoenix won an Oscar for Best Actor, Joker secured a sequel. “Folie à Deux” is one of the most anticipated titles of 2024, especially due to the presence of Lady Gaga.

Todd Phillips, the director of both dramas, confirmed that the story is set two years after the first film and begins with an animated sequence inspired by Looney Tunes, featuring the Joker himself.

Will The Joker have a third movie?

In a conversation with Variety, Todd Phillips spoke about the possibility of a third Joker film, stating, “It was fun to play in this sort of sandbox for two movies, but I think we’ve said what we wanted to say in this world“.

So, this would suggest that we won’t see a third installment, regardless of how much it earns at the box office after its release in theaters, scheduled for October 4th of this year.

The movie promises to expand the universe created in the first installment and delve into the dynamic between the Joker and Harley Quinn, with a story set in a musical environment.

Lady Gaga, the Bad Romance singer who brings the popular DC Comics villain to life, also spoke about this new installment and revealed what we can expect. In an interview with Variety, she confessed:

There’s music, there’s dance, it’s a drama, it’s also a courtroom drama, it’s a comedy, it’s happy, it’s sad. It’s a testament to [Todd] as a director, that he would rather be creative than just tell a traditional story of love“.
